The demand is increasing throughout
the country for wind mills that will not
only pump water, but furnish power for
running various kinds of farm ma
chinery.
If there is any better variety than the
Langshans for winter layers, says West
ern Ploughman, we know nothing about
them.
From the report on pork packing in the
United States, the pack for 1867, it
appears, amounted to IL, 0S3, OLE hogs
against the pack of 1908, 507 hogs in
1856.
In California Angora goats are raised
to some extent, and seem to be profitable,
especially in mountain districts. Their
fleece brings fair prices, and the young
animals furnish n fair quality of meat.
Rye has withstood the unfavorable
meteorological conditions better than

this crop largely as food for stock.

report favorably on the plan OF packing
eggs in salt. Use small kegs being sure
that they are dry and sweet, put in n
layer of dry, fine salt, place the eggs in
the salt the big end down, close together,
but not touching. Cover with salt and
add another layer. Continue with alter
nate layers of eggs and salt until the key
is filed. being sure, of course, to finish
with u heavy layer of salt. Head the kegs
and lay on their sides in some spot where
Il cool even temperature can be main
tanned. Every few days turn the key.
The salt prey ents evaporation and the
moving of the key keeps the yolis of the
eggs froi2 idhering to the sides of the
shell
Stephen Beale advises where eggs are to
be kept Il long time that only infertie
ones be packed down. His experiments
make it appear that infcrtile eggs keep
longer and in better condition than do fer
tile ones.
Our advice is cold storage for large
concerns that handle eggs wholesale for
market For home use we would put
down small packages of eggs in dry fine
salt, as above described. When large
numbers are to be placed in one package,
then we would lime them. BY any mode
the necessity of II cool, even temperature
is emphasized. The World

The season is again at hand when the
several modes of packing down eggs for
winter use are discussed. These various
methods each have their warm advocates
claiming superior merits. They all de-
pend, however, largely upon the fact that
the shells are porous, and if the pores be
closed or protected from the recess of air,
the contents will remain good Il long time.
OF late years protection of the contents of
the egg by cold air has been practiced to
some extent.
Large concerns that hold over eggs for
market either preserve the eggs in lime
pickle or by the cold storage system.
Farmers and others who preserve eggs in
small quantities, as rule practice lining
or packing down in dry salt.
The lining system is inexpensive and
but little trouble. Eggs kept by this
process, however, while good for cooking
purposes such as making cake, buildings
and the like, are not like fresh laid eggs
when required for poaching or other uses
where it is essential that the yOlk remain
unbrOken.
To lime eggs, make a pickle of strictly
pure stone lime, clean salt and pure water
in the following proportions; Two quarts
of salt, one bushel of lime and sixty gal
Ions of water The lime is carefully
Stacked with part of the water and the
salt and remaining water afterward added,
when the mass is left to deposit the lime
until the solution becomes clear. a COM
mon practice is to draw off the solution at
this stage into a cask or vat in which it is
designed to preserve the eggs. The eggs
may be placed in the pickle by means of II
tin basin punched full of holes When
the vat or cask is nearly full, cover over
with factory cloth and spread on two or
three inches of the lime that settles in
making the pickle, and see to it that the
pickle is kept continually up over this
lime.
Advocates for packing eggs in dry salt
are all the while increasing in number.

Prepare trees for planting by cutting
the tops back in proportion to the
amount of injury done to the roots which
is generally from one-half to two-thirds of
tie entire top. On this pruning all shoots
should be entirely cut away that are not
needed for the formation of perfect head,
and the Others cut back one-half to two
thirds of their length
If the head is not formed high enough
upon the trunk it may often be carried
higher by cutting off all lateral shoots,
leaving the most central one for leader,
upon which will be formed the new head
several inches higher than the first All
injured roots should have the ends cut
smooth with a sharp knife and with
small fruits, like the grape, currant and
strawberry, it is often desirable to cut
back some of the larger ones.
